Jack watched the skies, bored as all get out. He smiled as he saw the clock, it was nearly the end of his shift. He smiled as it turned 8 o'clock, and his shift ended. He picked up the Ak-47 beside him, and hefted his sword upon his back. He grabbed a coffee from a local shop. He was glad that they had some trade with some of the local ponies, while not preferred, it was necessary. He sipped the coffee again, savor in the bitter flavor. He walked to his tent from the wall, happily strolling to his tent. He looked about, and ducked into his tent. He finished the coffee, and went to sleep. Happy thoughts came to him while he slept.

"Back to it." He spoke aloud returning to stance, hefting along his belongings at the weight of measly 10 pounds and his crude old faithful piece of a crapper he called that rickety-rifle-thingy-on-his-back . Proudly sponsored on his jacket was the remains of the old article of a begotten clothes industry with his signature shoulder mantle upon his left shoulder. The fires ahead were a welcome sight. And his legs are feeling like absolute murder, surely they had coffee too.

 

The encampments parameter was a bit laughable but the aggressive looking unicorn was no joke, unless you wanted to make illicit remarks about his horn.

 

"This camp is welcome to everypony and non-pony alike. Just keep yourself out of trouble." The said unicorn warned keeping his gaze upon him.

 

With a witty snap of the fingers he gave a smile, "No problems here." Kris replied.

Jack woke up, he was being dragged. "Who are you!? He shouted, "What are you doing! I'm a guard of this city!!" One of the people who were dragging him, remarked, "Captain can't have anyone who is even celestial, and you're 1/8." Jack felt the edge of the city wall on his back. "what the hell!" He yelled. And then felt air behind his back, they had thrown him off the wall of the city! He felt the impact of water on his back, and the shock of the cold. He fell unconscious.

Kris took seat around the barrel fire along with a couple of other chaps. A bright red and yellow. Nice and warm, inviting into its vicinity. Letting out a disgruntled sigh he simply lounged back.

 

"You know, I wonder if we had ever planned to visit Mars?" He asked aloud, not expecting a reply.

"What's Mars?" One of the fellow squatters asked,

 

Immediately he stood with enthusiasm.

"Well friend!" He pulls out a small worn book adorned with pictures of planets.

"Make up a good deal and you too can understand the world beyond our own! Imagine holding the knowledge of the Solar System in your mind and hands. And no knowledge isn't worthless!" He continued with outspoken emotion and glee.

 

With perplexed look the two squatters begin rummaging through their belongings.

Jack woke up, and looked about. He was on the bank of a river, and he had no gear. He stood up, and inventoried what he did have. He had his clothes, a shoulder pad, a knife, and the red sash of the guard. "What in the world was that all about?" He wondered aloud. He was relatively unharmed, just a bruise on his shoulder. "Got lucky I suppose." Jack looked off into the distance, and saw a speck of light in the gathering gloom. He set off towards it.
